The Ghost Train
The Ghost Train
In the book Ghost Train by Jess Mowry, a boy and a girl try to unlock the secrets of The Ghost Train, a mysterious train that comes only in the middle of the night. A young boy from Haiti, Remi, meets a wrong side of town girl, Niya. They met while they were walking to school one day, get to talking, and Niya finds out that Remi has been seeing The Ghost Train. In time the two grow closer together, and begin to trust each other. One night they plan on meeting and trying to find the discarded body of the aimless spirit haunting the train tracks. Eventually, after lots of research, Niya and Remi discover that the man whose spirit is haunting the tracks was once hit and killed by the train. “What really happened has happened. He was run down by his own train... over 50 years ago.” I liked the way the author used real life language but, he started the book off too sharply. If you like real life description and can handle a little bit of profanity, this book is for you.
